How Did Tewksbury Vote Last Presidential Election Cycle?

TEWKSBURY, MA — If 2012's election results are any indication of what we can expect Tuesday's outcome to be, New York Businessman and Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump may take a narrow victory in Tewksbury.

According to the voting results on the Town of Tewksbury website, then-Republican candidate and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney defeated President Barack Obama in Tewksbury. Uncommon in historically-Democratic Massachusetts, the Republican Romney defeated the Democrat Obama by a margin of just 782 votes in Tewksbury.

Tewksbury also favored the Republican senatorial candidate Scott Brown over Democratic Sen. Elizabeth Warren in the 2012 election.
